CNN)President Joe Biden participated Thursday in a CNN town hall in Baltimore, taking questions from anchor Anderson Cooper and local residents about his legislative agenda and a variety of other topics.
Biden made some false claims, along with making other claims that could have used additional context. He also made one claim, an assertion that he has visited the southern border in the past, that CNN couldn't immediately verify and that the White House did not immediately provide evidence to support. Here's a fact check of some of his claims from Thursday's town hall. Biden and the border
A college student asked Biden: "Given that it's nearly been a year into your campaign, why haven't you been to the southern border of our country?" After Biden addressed another immigration question from the student but ignored that one, Cooper followed up. Biden then responded, "I've been there before, and I haven't -- I mean, I know it well. I guess I should go down. But the -- but the whole point of it is: I haven't had a whole hell of lot of time to get down." Biden explained that he has been spending time inspecting hurricane damage and "traveling around the world," then added, "But I plan on -- now, my wife, Jill, has been down. She's been on both sides of the river. She's seen the circumstances there."
Facts First: CNN could not immediately find any evidence that Biden has previously visited the southern border, and the White House has not specified when this visit supposedly occurred. Also, it's worth noting that Jill Biden's last visit to the border was in December 2019, during the presidential campaign, not as first lady.

Don't you just love the title of the article?
If it was Trump, the title would have been....
Trump lies several times at townhall.
It was not a townhall. Participation was by invitation only. I was a stage managed Biden campaign event.
The FCC should fine CNN for an illegal campaign contribution in kind
He could pop down to the border some weekend instead of going home to his basement in Delaware 3 nights a week
Even with scripted questions and rehearsed answers on his teleprompter, he still kept getting lost in his own bullschitt
The man’s an accident waiting to happen.
Doocy: “Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?”
Psaki: Biden may have driven through the border in 2008 so that counts as a border visit
Biden's a known liar and plagiarizer... but none of the press toadies - - butt-boys - - call Biden a liar... There wasn't a day in Trump's four years that some press slut or liberal elite pretentious 'man' didn't call Trump out for being a liar... and yet - with Biden - it's crickets.
You're right. Same with the Washington Post and New York Times.
Biden practices his answers for weeks before the staged theatre event.
He would never put himself out there without a giant net.
Watch CNN for 3-4 hours....it’s simply an arm of the DNC.
It’s not a news network anymore......all theatre.
Paw Patrol beat Steltzer in the ratings last week......
That was so strange
Even for Slow Joe
Those are great!
‘What’s the deal with his arms-up posture? —’
It makes me uncomfortable to see Biden flail so epically. I am embarrassed for him. I don’t understand the logic of his wife letting me endure this stuff.
Now, were it Obama, I’d be gleeful if Obama went through this mess. Gleeful indeed.
LOL!!!!!
Wonder what Anderson Cooper REALLY thinks of Joe Biden.
Why post things from CNN. They are garbage, systemically corrupt, lie about everything, and a fact check from them might as well be ME auditing my own tax return.
They are nothing but the DNC propaganda machine, just like MSNBC.
If Tucker or any other conservative moved to CNN or any alphabet news, they would be done in my book.
CNN Corrupt News Network.
Symptoms & Stages of Dementia
February 2007
By Jane Verity :joebiden:
Second-Stage
In the second stage, people with dementia are far more relaxed and inclined to give in and let go. They may start to withdraw and appear to become preoccupied with the past, thinking back to happy times, restoring old memories and sometimes living in that time and reality. Their way of communicating may change too. Sentence construction may not be as clear. They might start a sentence, and it make perfect sense; but then it becomes muddled in the middle and ends as ‘gobbledegook’, which is hard to understand.
If they can’t remember a word, they might create one. Often the words will be familiar, only now put together in an innovative way creating a poetic new word or phrase. Here is a great personal example of how this can occur.
One day we were out driving. Suddenly, Mum pointed out of the window and said, ‘Look at that beautiful water nest.’ I looked across at the dam in the paddock and thought, ‘What is she talking about?’ Then I realised. Mum couldn’t remember the word for dam, so, instead, she’d said, ‘water nest.’ A far more beautiful word picture than dam!
Another time, she said, ‘I can’t find my rain stick’. I did have to wonder for a moment about this rain stick? Of course, Mum meant her umbrella.
Once we work out the intended meaning, it can seem so obvious.
People who have dementia develop their own wonderful language. Each person is unique and so will develop an individual style of language that those closest to them will learn to understand. A close family member may even get to a point where he or she doesn’t even think of it as different.
In the second stage, the person may start to mix up relationships and generations, such as Emily believing her son to be her deceased husband, or Ray believing his niece is his sister.
The person may start to address you by a different name. Just because you are addressed in this way for a short time does not mean it will last forever. It may only be that the person is preoccupied, for the moment, in thinking about Mum or Dad. So, when you appear, you may temporarily become Mum or Dad.
In this stage, the person may still be able to do many things, but might become sidetracked when starting on something new.
Evelyn pulls out a drawer to put something away. Once the drawer is open, she is inspired by what she sees inside and forgets what she came to do. Instead, she begins to empty the contents.
John may begin to set the table using the correct movements; but once he spreads out the tablecloth, he forgets what he is doing. Suddenly, re-inspired, he begins to fold the cloth up again and puts it away.
Some of these actions can be frustrating, but they are easier to understand when we know that the person is not deliberately trying to frustrate or irritate; it is simply that he or she sets out to do the one thing, and then gets distracted
